She recently let slip she plans to drop new music in September.   

And OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, 40, who is collaborating with Adele, 31, on the album has hinted that she ‘sounds better than ever’.

Speaking to The Sun, Ryan teased: ‘I’ll just say that she sounds better than ever.’

Adding that he was going to hold his tongue and ‘stay completely mum’ on his time in the studio for the songstress’ fourth album. 

Adele, who filed for divorce from her husband in September, is expected to drop a new track on being ‘optimistic’ about moving on from her failed marriage with Simon Konecki.

Ryan released his fifth album, Human, with his band OneRepublic on Saturday after taking a four year break from touring and making music to spend time with his wife Genevieve and two sons Copeland, nine, and Miles, five.

The songwriter is also responsible for writing a number of hits performed by other artists such as Leona Lewis’ Bleeding Love and Battlefield by Jordan Sparks.  

Adele released her debut album 19 in 2008, followed by 21 in 2011 and 25 in 2015, which each spawned massive tours.

A source told People that the artist is ‘definitely getting ready both mentally and physically to promote new music.’

The Tottenham native was reportedly ‘feeling free’ after filing for divorce from her husband Simon Konecki, after announcing their separation in April 2019.

Adele and the charity CEO started dating in the summer of 2011, but the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight for the most part.

They announced in June 2012 that they were expecting their first child, with their son Angelo born in October 2012.

While they never formally announced their marriage, speculation surfaced that they had been secretly married in 2016, when they were spotted wearing matching rings.

The blonde beauty confirmed they had tied the knot the 59th Grammy Awards in February 2017, when she called her long-term partner her husband in her acceptance speech.

After she collected the Album of the Year gong, she said at the time: ‘Grammys, I appreciate it. The Academy, I love you. My manager, my husband and my son you’re the only reason I do it.’

But in April 2019, the singer’s reps released a statement to the Associated Press, where they announced their separation after seven years together.

‘Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.’
